At least Sabrina’s upping the banter element of her game, though pushing me into the corner and backing up into the opposite one suggests she’s still a little too wedded to her “Step 1: Hurl yourself at your opponent. There is no Step 2” plan.

That’s Sabrina’s inexperience shining through and often her compensation is to get mad, though she’s not really showing any of that here. I mean, she’s (trying) giving as good as she’s getting, physically and mentally.

ya know you’ve crafted a well thought out main character for a wrestling comic when she gets the cena treatment. i wonder when will see the signs.. in the same vein as “cena nuff”.. that read “sabrin there done that.” I was wondering how that submission hold was applied.. not saying you drafted wrong.. and i know ive seen it done.. just cant suss it in my brain.. reverse stf with a bridge i guess? You should find like a 2 year old match between hunico and debias jr.. hunico whipped this murderous submission on teddy and won.. but i think it was add libed cause i couldnt find a name for it other than ankle trap

It’s exactly that, an inverted stf. Facing away from the opponent’s head, you get your leg in between your opponents, hook the foot of her far leg with her near leg, hook the near leg around your leg, then bridge backwards, reaching under her chin and pulling back.

I’ll give it a try sometime. I’ve got more than a few inches on Toyota, though, so bridging that far could be a bit of a strain. I’m also not sure going under the arms really puts any more pressure on the back, either. That said, it looks rather nice.

Can’t seem to reply to your comment, Albone, so I’ll answer by making a new one. I’m not sure, but I think the difference between Cena’s move and a crossface is that Cena bends one of the legs back with his own legs while stretching the neck, and a wrestler applying a crossface uses their legs to hold an opponent’s arm in place instead.

Regardless, good call by you and Callie, because this move is much cooler. 🙂

ah ok only really saw Aries since he returned to Impact (didn;t see much of him during his Austin Starr days) and he was using the brainbuster mostly this time around so only seen him use the Last Chancery a few times- more of late though.

Cena’s version is kinda like he wanted to do a STF and a crossface but couldn;t decide which one he wanted so he does half of each in a what looks to me like a very non hurting version of either.

And the problem there is that the two holds aren’t aimed at the same part of the back. The reason for the toe hold in an STF, in addition to having the leg hooked, is to pull back the leg so that that and pulling the chin backwards both work on the middle-lower back. It’s why I’ve got the inverted version on Sabrina, because she’s flexible enough (not a Yoshi joke) that she needs to be bent back farther for the hold to be fully effective.

In the case of the crossface, though, you’re planting your weight across her back, and bending the chin back, working on the neck and upper part of the back.

Wait, I think I missed something here. How did we go from Sabby and Sun talking on the phone to the match in progress? There was no transition, pullback on our previous locale, or establishing shot of a new location.

A) What did Yvonne want to talk to Sun about? Okay, it might not have been important, for all I know she wants to yell at Sun for sweating on Damage Inc’s couch and Sun will have an opportunity to quote the most famous sketch in the history of Chappelle’s Show in her response, but on the other hand it might be something important!

B) What was Sun about to say about Brooke before Kyra cut her off? To paraphrase, “She’s stuck wrestling dark matches, BUT…”

I have to say that I’m really happy that Callie is getting some nice comments here especially since I didn’t really build up the match between she and Sabrina. I know not everyone is going to like her, but it makes me happy that people can be respectful.
Obviously, I like her. XD Brenda, Snowy, Black Widow, and Susy Love have been included because I’ve known them like, forever and it’s always been my little nod to them considering our shared interest. 🙂

With the impending hurricane putting me in doors and preventing me from working I’ve had some time to relax and catch up on Rival Angels, and I’ve seem to come back at a perfect time. During a match! Lets do this Sabrina!
